David,
It's not worth it. Don't dredge up old fights. I've probably had two other disputes with Bruce since this one.
To Bruce I would add:
You said: "And we choose to write in the second person...if that bothers someone, so be it."
No. You don't write in the second person. Writing in the second person DOESN'T mean that you pretend there is another person there with you. You write in the first person plural. That's very different (and weird.)
I thought they taught that kind of stuff at first rate, Ivy League, schools.
